A one that isn’t cold is scarcely a one at all.

I’ve dreamed of this since I was 13 playing at my LGS. Thank you LSS!!!! It means so much to me to be immortalized on a card

@SakurasCardShop @HailSushi2204 Are manifests an option at that volume?

[ichooseyoudude @ichooseyoudude]

I’m beyond hyped for the new @fabtcg gem packs dropping next month. Players have been clamoring for these and LSS came through in a big way. Combined with Armory Decks, I’m very excited to see where we go in 2025.

We desperately need to maintain the separation of Church and State.

I mean it’s ONE banana, Michael. What could it cost? 6.2 million dollars?

A banana duct-taped to a wall — a conceptual artwork by Maurizio Cattelan titled "Comedian" — sold to a crypto entrepreneur for $6.2 million with fees at Sotheby's contemporary art auction on Wednesday. https://t.co/bSewDkCv72

Last little bit of Surging Sparks we got for the web.

[ichooseyoudude @ichooseyoudude]

Fyi. Preorders are squared away, so the remaining Surging sparks is going up on the site tonight after we get the kids in bed.

I’ll post here first. :)

THIS FRIDAY!!!

I am irrationally excited about hosting a @fabtcg 5th anniversary celebration event, so we’re doing it big. Seats are limited so reservations are highly recommended.

Shout out to @james_white for making the best damn game in the world. :)

[ichooseyoudude @ichooseyoudude]

Oh lord. Just realized i forgot a key piece of info. There’s a pack per round win as well.

@JustinVizaro @NCBlake @x_xoanon @DynamoNestico By and large LGSs do not and cannot operate like tradition retail stores. Margins are bad (< 25%) and online competition is fierce. As such, multiple streams of revenue are required to pay the bills and event hosting is one of the most logical options, but it must make a profit.

[ichooseyoudude @ichooseyoudude]

@JustinVizaro @DynamoNestico McDonald’s is in the food business, not the fun business. Generally speaking LGSs are the inverse of that; food is provided as an amenity and is not a core driver of revenue (ball pit) and the core driver of business is fun (hamburgers).

[ichooseyoudude @ichooseyoudude]

@JustinVizaro @DynamoNestico If the majority of people using the ball pit were non-paying customers things would change rapidly.

@ManSantFaB I had a revelation last night that one of the things people love about TCGs is that it gives them a thing to debate and complain about that feels lower stakes than the big things that ail us as people, and now I think I'm just completely okay with dooming. Enjoy it!
